Coconut oil is solid at room temperature (except in summer) so gentle heating is required.
Coconut oil is the number one lather-producing agent used in soapmaking and is a first choice for most people in the cosmetics and soap industry. It is a good oil for general moisturising and serves as a protective layer, helping to retain the moisture in your skin. It also acts as a mild oil suitable for those with inflamed and irritated skin.
This coconut oil is very similar to babassu oil, but much cheaper.
